That doesn't make sense though, before I had 4G in my area, leaving it in strictly 3G did save battery because it stopped the phone from constantly looking for 4G. Now that I have 4G, wouldn't setting my phone to stop looking for 3G help the battery out?

yeah probably most likely maybe.

it will be a neglegable difference since the only time it looks for 3G is when 4G is not around....so basically when you go into a building it may save some battery, but you will just loose 4G all together.

All I have to say is I got to use 4G today and I can't wait till towers go live in my area, I didn't wanna leave L.A. or the stadium because of 4G, I was constantly on my phone too and my battery did really good I was very very pleased

New guy here,hey everyone..Yes 4G will use alot more battery.I tested mine for about a week with 3G only and 4G only.With moderate use I got about 11 hrs on 3G and somewhere around 7 hrs on 4G,both with stock battery.I since have gone to the extended battery which I get about 11 hrs on 4G with everything runnin..
